Mobile Air Mouse instantly transforms your iPhone or iPod touch into an air mouse, track-pad, and wireless remote for your computer! Sit back and surf the web, browse your photo library or control your music player from the comfort of your couch.

There are several reasons you would want to turn your iPhone into a remote control over your keyboard and mouse: ease, convenience, and a broad range of control. The gesture mode of navigation takes advantage of the iPhone’s accelerometer to move your mouse across the screen. Using the accelerometer to control mouse gestures is comparable to using the controls for a Nintendo Wii – fun, but not always practical. The touch-pad mode keeps your arm stationary while you trace the mouse trajectory on the iPhone face with your finger.

The Air Mouse Pro screen features a two-button track-pad on the top half of the screen, while the bottom half switches between media control buttons and a virtual keyboard with extra buttons, such as Control and Alt, that are compatible with your PC or Mac.  A second keyboard with the keyboard functions and programmable app-launching hot keys, and two control panels for navigating your browser and controlling your media players.  Support for landscape mode and multi-touch scrolling and selecting while in landscape mode ice the cake.

Air Mouse works over a local Wi-Fi network to control you computer’s mouse and keyboard. Before using the app, you need to install a small application, Air Mouse Server, on your computer which manages the connection and controls many of the mouse and keyboard settings.

Suddenly your iPhone becomes an essential part of any home theater PC and a presenters best friend. Using an innovative application notification system, the iPhone will always know what applications are running at any time and show the appropriate keys for that program, providing you with a single screen for controlling ALL your media and web applications.

App highlights:

• Accelerometer based mouse
• Track-pad (full screen vertical and landscape modes)
• Media keys & Web keys
• Application notifications – Remote keyboard with modifier, function and arrow keys
• Programmable hotkeys (can be set to run a program or keyboard combination)
• Scroll pad
• Multi-touch gestures (scroll & right click)
• Password protection
• Custom sensitivity settings
• Foreign language keyboards
• Supports Bonjour or static IP
• No screen size limitation. Works with multiple monitors.
• And much, much more.

Overall, Air Mouse is VERY impressive.  The tilt mode has a higher learning curve and is a bit strange to use at first.  But, tweak the sensitivity settings and you’ll find a comfortable match.  I recommend consulting the Web site’s Getting Started page for a guide on the interface, set-up, and troubleshooting.

Download Mobile Air Mouse for the discounted price of $2.99.   Compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch.  Requires iPhone OS 2.1 or later.

Download the desktop application, Air Mouse Server, for Windows XP/Vista (32/64 bit) here.
